When 1C and Battlefront first announced they’d be working on a game together, we were a bit surprised, primarily because the two franchises they’re each best known for seem to have so little potential for crossover. After all, what could the makers of a flight sim and a wargame have to offer each other? Then when we considered how much each studio manages to embrace both detailed authenticity and the breadth of their subject matter, our surprise gave way to excitement.

Their joint effort, Theatre of War, owes a fair bit to Battlefront’s own Combat Mission series but tempers the hardcore warmongering with an attractive graphics engine and a more familiar real-time format. The result is an interesting and generally satisfying middle ground between the RTS and wargame genres. While the realism and visual appeal of the new game are definitely the two biggest draws, they also at times become the game’s biggest weaknesses, the former because it leads to some monotonous mission design and the latter because it takes such a toll on most PCs.
There are five large campaigns here — Polish, French, Russian, US/UK and German — and each contains several missions. You can opt to play through the campaigns in any order but there is a bit of satisfaction in following a rough historical sequence that the game presents. A number of one-off battles and an editor expand your options beyond the basic campaign play. Like most wargames, each mission starts with a set number of units with the possibility of getting more reinforcements once you achieve certain objectives.
Rather than taking the “everything but the kitchen sink” approach of Combat Mission, Theatre of War uses a smaller number of units to render a smaller number of battles. That’s not necessarily a criticism; players will still have the chance to fight from the invasion of Poland to the final stand at Berlin and will still have a wide range of units to choose from but the designers have intentionally kept your options a bit more limited this time around.
Taken individually, the battles are quite compelling. You’ll order your off-map artillery to soften up enemy defenses while your infantry approach under cover and your tanks move around the flanks. True line of sight, realistic damage and ballistic models, moral effects, commander influence and individual soldier skills make each encounter wonderfully unpredictable but undeniably convincing.
